And yet we know all the boys by their complete name and surname. Most of the choirs just give the surname and only for soloists, sometimes.

I wouldn't have dared to dream about it: A few weeks ago I bought the new CD "if" from Libera as the Japan edition, CD and DVD. To my surprise, I received this special edition from a Japanese private seller. Inside the inner ring of each CD and DVD are the words "Sample" and "Loaned" printed. So this issue was given away to journalists and the media in Japan. By coincidence I have it now. Now I have the coveted promotional CDs for almost all Libera CDs, most of them from Japan.

Not only you are a great at finding rare items online, but also a lucky person!

Thank you very much, I appreciate that!

Do you collect also the old cassettes ?

Your collection is quite large, not easy to keep track of it.
What about creating and sharing a detailed summary listing each of your items?

As suggestion, here two unusual editions that you may already have, or that you can add to your hunt list:
- A promo 5 tracks CD of 'Peace'
- A Korean version of 'Luminosa', renamed 'Ave Maria' there.

Libera music on a cassete is very strange. Libera is from the era after the cassette. They are from the 'cd-time'.
Is it an official release? Or did a fan make a copy?

Those cassettes are perfectly genuine.
I think at least 8 albums from the St Philip, the Angel Voices and a few from the Libera era were released on a cassette format, in addition to the LP and CD formats.

You can find some of the references and some photos on the French fans forum database (thanks The Furby)

Here the cassettes that I have myself, released from 1993 to 2001 in South Korea.
'Libera' is published by label Erato and 'Ave Maria' (Luminosa) by Warner Classics.

Talking about the hunting list:
Where did you go hunting for the rare far East articles?

Nice MCs from Libera! I don't own any cassettes. My main hunting are Japanese promotional CDs in all variations! Today I received a club card issued by the Japanese fan club. The most members of the club don't sell their cards, but I was lucky. A nice collectors item to all my CDs...

Here is another promotional Japan CD with a hard to find sticker for the Japan tour 2007. Interesting on every case...

I know this isn't a CD, but straight from Japan I received this printed blanket via airmail yesterday. At the 2019 concert in Tokyo, I saw them at a stall. It was quite expensive, so I didn't take it with me at the time. The ceiling is not very big, but it is a nice souvenir from the concert. Not very many are said to have been made.

I found this unknown CD edition in a Chinese shop. It appears to be a re-release. However, the CD was completely made in Japan. Often there are CDs in Japan that look like they are from Japan, but they are only repackaged European editions. Who else owns this CD? Greetings from Changchun in China!

Mostly at eBay and in China "taobao", but you can only order when you are resident in China. I am! Also Yahoo auctions in Japan, fleamarkets and private offerings like eBay Kleinanzeigen in Germany. But only if you searching hours and hours consequently for years!! Hard work if you will find something!!!
